Spring break is so close, you can almost taste the salt on the rim of a margarita glass. Mmm. You can almost feel the California breeze or the Flagstaff snow crunch.
All of you guys-at-the-bar out there are already ironing a week's worth of your collared, button-down shirts and acid-washed jeans to prepare for a nice span of drunkenness. Yeah, you.
Some of you might be mentally readying yourself to appear in the next "Girls Gone Wild" special. Go and make ASU proud, ladies. We've got a Playboy ranking to maintain.
Personally, I can almost feel an on-and-off rainy weekend as I bite into a turkey leg at the Renaissance Festival near Gold Canyon, but that's just me.
Chances are you're still pining away at your studies, cramming in the last bits of piled-on schoolwork before the break. That's the pattern: Work your butt off for a week and then sleep (and/or party) it off. It's tough.
Still, we students have it all right. It could be worse, judging by how some people are going to be celebrating the next couple of weeks.
Take Martha Stewart. She's getting out of prison right now, so she'll probably be busy redecorating her pad for a while.
Or Michael Jackson. No need to say more.
And if you're a higher-minimum-wage advocate or a top executive at Boeing, you might just be wringing your hands.
So I'll take my trip to the jousting arena, stunted conversation with Ded Bob and my refreshing lack of Web Devil tasks and quit whining about a lack of an exciting story to tell.
Whether you're bored at home or trading the real world for Shane's World, things could always be worse.
Look for Nicole Saidi in "Girls Gone Wild: Medieval Fantasies" when it comes out later this year. Reach the editor at nicole.saidi@asu.edu.
What about you? Let us know what you're doing for Spring Break at webdevil@asu.edu. We'd love to hear about it. Heck, maybe we'll even run your story on the site. But please, keep it PG-13, folks.
